The screen on this blackberry has malfunctioned.

The screen on this blackberry has malfunctioned and has a defect. It has numerous odd multi-colored stripes from top to bottom on the face of the phone. I am returning the blackberry to a Best Buy location to be replaced with another unit. The other features appear to be working.

Mini-review: It's much the same story with the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM's low-end model boasts neither HSDPA nor GPS, and it couples that with very plasticky build quality and a screen that's grainy and low in resolution, at just 320 x 240.
